Poetry and Cycling

So Eric is back in town for a couple days at the beginning of his Spring Break. In only hours, we have accomplished 2 amazing things:

1) we've planned our route. Check out the website soon to see if we will be passing through your town, or if you know someone who lives along our route!

2) we've written some haikus.

A few we composed together, some others we wrote independently. To inspire you to support our cause, we'll share them here:

1. (by Eric and Jason)

It’s a long, long way
Vancouver to Halifax.
All to build a school.

2. (by Jason & Eric)

We ride our bikes soon
Across all of Canada
Give to Chacaya!

3. (by both of us)

We chose Canada
Because Guatemala is too
Small to bike across.

Things got sillier from here...

4. (Eric wants no credit for this one)

Riding bikes is fun.
Dogs can ride in baskets too,
Barking radio.

5. (another Jason masterpiece)

The chain has caught my pants.
I should not have worn these pants.
I hate these pants now.

6. (Eric wrote this one, I think it is pretty good)

Pedal Pedal on
Pedal pedal pedal on
Pedal pedal on.

7. (Jason wrote this one, but I think it speaks for both of us)

I don’t have money,
So I’ll ride in Canada,
Though that makes no sense.

8. (by Jason...seeing a bear would be bittersweet)

Spandex streaming by
In the Canadian wild
Looks like food to bears.

9. (more about bears, by Jason)

Winnie the Pooh Bear
Must be from America.
Foreign bears are mean.

10. (Eric didn't like this one)

I ran out of food
Riding with my friend Eric.
Now his leg is gone.

We hope this inspires you to support our project in any way you can. More soon!
